Remote Controlled Drift Cars (good Xmas Present)


Recommended Posts

Was wondering whether anybody happened to catch the ads last nite on TV for the remote control drift cars that were on special.

Wanted to buy one for my mate for Xmas but forgot the name for the place.

They were advertising them for $130 from memory so they make a pretty good present for any car enthusiast

yeah i saw that commercial as well, sounds interesting I may check it out. last xmas i brought a battery drift car on eBay for $90bucks as i didn't know if i'd get into the hobby much or use it or not etc. going the cheap version to start with was a good idea for me as i know now i wouldn't use it enough to spend top dollar on a good one. if i go to this place tomorrow i'll just be picking up spare batteries etc. but i still think my 90dollar buy was the best xmas present i've ever brought myself

i just bought 1. not from that place, from dandenong near the plaza.

cost me like 270 for the car and u assemble it FROM scratch EVERYthing like make ur own diff drive shaft even your own damper oil in your home made suspension and springs, then the remote was $100 (wtf?) i know, and battery was like 35, and charger was like 60, and red paint was 10 bucks.. so it all adds up but its loads of fun, does AWD burnouts and leaves marks on the kitchen floor lol.

I also dumped it on its ass looks hot :P (RX7)

Went there Sunday morning and it's shit. Honestly if the decent cheap stuff was there it sold out before i got there. They just had a few RC cars at $400+ and a couple of rc helicopters. I have a small rc chopper that i bought for $35, they had one very similar for $50 :P

SALE pfffft what a joke.

i work around the corner from that place...there was hardly anything left when i checked it out last friday.

all the cheapish stuff was gone, and most of the stuff was $300+ ..might have restocked it but yeah fyi.

There epic but pricey IF you want a good one. Took 4door_33gts there, we got one from Hobby Man on Mccrae St in dandy. in total for all the stuff you need. car/remote/battery/charger/paint its just under $500.. i've got 2 of them and there pretty fun.

i would recomend this dandy one there really good quality thats if your willing to pay 350-500 depending on what you get.

I'll attach a pic of my S15 :P currently making a R34 Z-Tune :rofl:

p.s- If your going to buy a drift car make sure its an electric one, the Nitro ones arent the best for drifting. + electric cheaper to run ^^

the city place is over-priced china stuff. A lot of people come back to return and they chuck it back on for sale.

Just go to the dande hobby shop across the road from dande plaza.

Friend picked up a savage XL for $1000 with all the accessories.

It's a monster and can go through anything lol

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
